Theelectronic device 102 can be a mobile phone, laptop, PDA, camera, portable audio/video player, and the like. Suchelectronic devices 102 can communicate with each other directly, for example through IR or Bluetooth™. - Each of the
electronic devices 102 additionally includes apower module 104. Thepower module 104 is instrumented to allow the transfer of electrical energy wirelessly. In an implementation, thepower module 104 can convert electrical energy into electromagnetic signals and vice-versa. The electrical energy stored in an electronic device is usually DC power, which can be converted into AC power with the help of a DC-AC converter. The AC power is converted into electromagnetic signals using an antenna. Thepower module 104 includes transceiver(s) that sends and receives electromagnetic signals from one electronic device to another.

Depending on the level of the electric charge stored, thepower module 104 can decide whether the electronic device needs energy or not. For example, thepower module 104 in electronic device 102-1 can determine the level of electric charge stored in its battery. If the level of electric charge is less than a threshold value (which may be defined by a user, pre-set or determined based on other factors), the electronic device 102-1 (interchangeably referred to as the requesting device 102-1) can communicate with one or moreelectronic devices 102 that may be present in the vicinity of the requesting device 102-1. - The request transmitted by the requesting device 102-1 may be received by one or more of the other

For example,electronic devices 102 in the immediate proximity of the requesting device 102-1 can accept the power request. Similarly far placedelectronic devices 102 may reject the request, as it may not be possible to effectively transmit power over a larger distance. - Responsive to a request from the requesting device 102-1, any one of the

For example, power module 104-2 can convert a portion of electric charge stored in the electronic device 102-2 into corresponding electromagnetic signals. In an embodiment, electrical energy stored in electronic device 102-2 is DC power that can be converted into electromagnetic signals that corresponds to AC power using a DC-AC converter. The AC power is converted into electromagnetic signals using an antenna. The signals can be transmitted to the requesting device 102-1 with the help transceiver(s) included in the power module 104-2. Transceiver(s) included in the power module 104-1, within the requesting device 102-1 receives the electromagnetic signals and converts it into electrical energy, which can be used to charge the requesting device 102-1. In an embodiment, at electronic device 102-1, received electromagnetic signals can be converted into DC power using a AC-DC converter and a rectenna. - In one implementation, requesting device 102-1 can detect one or more

Examples ofother modules 212 include, but are not limited to an operating system, application software, etc.Program data 208 includes communication data 214,power data 216 andother data 218. - As specified previously, the
power module 104 in each ofelectronic devices 102 can determine the amount of electrical charge left in their respective storage devices. For example, if the electrical charge present within the requesting device 102-1 is below a threshold value, then requesting device 102-1 can seek otherelectronic devices 102 in its proximity to derive electric charge from them. In one implementation, thecommunication module 210 can detect one or moreelectronic devices 102 present in the proximity of the requesting device 102-1. The proximity can be based on a pre-specified range within which the requesting device 102-1 can seek and detect otherelectronic devices 102.

Thecommunication module 210 can also abstract information about the detectedelectronic devices 102. The information about the detectedelectronic devices 102 can pertain to type of device, device proximity, compatibility parameters, and so on. In such implementation, the information can be stored in communication data 214. After selecting a desired electronic device, say electronic device 102-2, thecommunication module 210 in the requesting device 102-1 can transmit a request message to electronic device 102-2, for transferring electrical energy. The electronic device 102-2 or thecommunication module 210 in the electronic device 102-2 can receive the request message. Upon receiving such a request, the electronic device 102-2 can reject or accept the request. For example, electronic device 102-2 may reject the request for transfer of electrical energy if its own electrical charge is just sufficient for its own operation (as determined, for example by power module 104-2). It should be appreciated that the acceptance or rejection can be based on any number of factors such as low battery, range limitation, compatibility issues, or a combination of them. If the electronic device 102-2 accepts the request, a message communicating the acceptance can be transmitted to the requesting device 102-1. Similarly, a message communicating a rejection can be communicated to the requesting device 102-1, allowing it to seek other devices that may be capable of transmitting power. - On receiving an acceptance from the electronic device 102-2, the power module 104-1 in the requesting device 102-1 can initiate the process of wireless energy transfer. The power module 104-2 in the electronic device 102-2 determines the amount of electrical energy stored and can also evaluate the amount of electrical charge that can be transmitted to the requesting device 102-1. The power module 104-2, depending upon the amount of electric charge remaining in electronic device 102-2, regulates the conversion of some part of its stored electrical energy into electromagnetic signals. For example, if 80 percent of electric charge is remaining, electronic device 102-2 may transfer 40 percent to the requesting device 102-1.
- The converted electrical energy, now in the form of electromagnetic signals, can be transmitted from the electronic device 102-2 to the requesting device 102-1. For example, transceiver(s) included in the power module 104-2 in electronic device 102-2, can transmit the electromagnetic signals from electronic device 102-2 to the requesting device 102-1. In one implementation, the electromagnetic signals can be transmitted at a particular transmission frequency to requesting device 102-1.
- The electromagnetic signals transmitted by the electronic device 102-2 can be received by the requesting device 102-1 with the help of transceiver(s) included the in power module 104-1. The power module 104-1 can receive the electromagnetic signals transmitted by the electronic device 102-2 at a particular reception frequency. The power module 104-1 converts the electromagnetic signals into a corresponding electrical charge that can be stored in the battery of the requesting device 102-1. The manner in which the electromagnetic signals can be converted to electrical energy can be accomplished by methods or techniques that are known in the art. For example, in requesting device 102-1, a signal converter can convert received electromagnetic signals into electrical energy. In the signal converter, the received electromagnetic signals correspond to AC power that can be converted into DC power using an AC-DC converter. In an implementation, both DC-AC and AC-DC conversion can be combined together in the signal converter included in
power module 104. The electric charge once stored can be utilized by the requesting device 102-1 at its convenience or as per mandates defined by a user. In an implementation, thepower module 104 can also perform various processing on the electrical charge stored or the electromagnetic signals that are to be transmitted. Examples of such processing include but are not limited to amplification, rectification, and so on. - It would be appreciated that the present description is in relation to a requesting device 102-1 and an electronic device 102-2. It would be understood that the same description can also be extended for a plurality of
electronic devices 102. Wireless transfer of electrical power can hence be implemented amongst a plurality of devices, each of which can communicate with each other for the transfer of electrical energy. - Methods for wireless transfer of electrical energy between electronic devices can be described in the general context of computer executable instructions. Generally, computer executable instructions can include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, procedures, modules, functions, and the like that perform particular functions or implement particular abstract data types.
-
FIG. 3 , illustrating anexemplary method 300 for wireless energy transfer, is described with reference to thesystem 100. The order in which the method is described is not intended to be construed as a limitation, and any number of the described method blocks can be combined in any order to implement the method, or an alternate method. - At
block 302, one or more electronic devices present in the vicinity of the requesting device can be selected. In an implementation, thecommunication module 210 in the requesting device 102-1 detects one or moreelectronic devices 102 present within its proximity. The proximity can be defined though a pre-specified range or it may depend on other factors like frequency at which requesting device 102-1 communicates with otherelectronic devices 102, and so on. In an implementation, the frequency may lie in the range of microwave radiations i.e. in the range of 0.3 GHz-30 GHz, ISM radio band, and the like. The requesting device 102-1 then selects at least one electronic device from the list ofelectronic devices 102 within the proximity of the requesting device 102-1. The selected electronic device, say electronic device 102-2, can then communicate an acceptance for transferring electrical energy responsive to the requesting device 102-1 requesting for charging. - At
block 304, the amount of electrical energy stored in the electronic device can be determined. In one implementation, the amount of electric charge stored in the electronic device 102-2 can be determined by the power module 104-2. Depending on the level of the electric charge stored, the power module 104-2 can decide the amount of electrical energy to be transferred to the requesting device 102-1. - At
block 306, a part of electrical energy stored in the electronic device can be converted into electromagnetic signals. In an implementation, the power module 104-2 can convert electrical energy stored in the electronic device 102-2 into corresponding electromagnetic signals with the help of a signal converter and an antenna. In another implementation, the power module 104-2 converts a part of the electric charge stored in electronic device 102-2, depending upon the amount of electrical energy stored. - At
block 308, the electromagnetic signals can be transmitted from one of the electronic device to the requesting device. In one implementation, the converted electromagnetic signals from the electronic device 102-2 can be transmitted to the requesting device 102-1 by transceiver(s) included in thepower module 104. The transmission of the electromagnetic signals can occur at a particular transmission frequency. For example, the transmission frequency can be selected from the range of microwave frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. - At
block 310, the electromagnetic signals are received by the requesting device 102-1 with the help of transceiver(s) included in the power module 104-1. In an implementation, the electromagnetic signals can be received at a particular reception frequency. In another implementation, strength of the electromagnetic signals as received by the requesting device 102-1 can be enhanced by amplifying and rectifying the electromagnetic signals. - At
block 310, the electromagnetic signals received from one of the electronic devices can be converted into electrical energy. In an implementation, the power module 104-1 converts the electromagnetic signals from electronic device 102-2 into corresponding electrical energy with the help of a signal converter and a rectenna. The electrical energy so obtained can be used to charge the battery of the requesting device 102-1. It may be appreciated that the requesting device 102-1 can further be a source of electrical energy for one or more otherelectronic devices 102. - Although embodiments of wireless energy transfer have been described in language specific to structural features and/or methods, it is to be understood that the appended claims are not necessarily limited to the specific features or methods described. Rather, the specific features and methods are disclosed as exemplary implementations of wireless energy transfer.
